Thanks, Ross. That did the trick. And it was a trick.

Ross comes up with some pretty amazing stuff, doesn't he!


I don't think I
would have come up with it on my own.  I would say that the coding that
Bruce Miller made possible through his modifications to graphicx.perl are
more straight-forward and more likely to be stumbled upon by an average
user.  He claims his modifications should have produced relative URLs.
It might be worth investigating why they did not in my case.  Could it
have something to do with the way I configured LaTeX2HTML?  If there's
anything I can do to help, please let me know.

I downloaded the latest l2h (latex2html-2002-2-1, dated May 23,2003) and ran your test case. After futzing with the image -- I think my mailer didn't quite believe it was a png image, so when I tried to save it it came out partly corrupt. And l2h surprized me slightly by loading graphicxx.perl and complaining about graphicx not implemented...

But anyway, it produced a test.html which contains: <IMG
WIDTH="597" HEIGHT="190" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
SRC="./l2h.png"
ALT="Image l2h">
so it came out relative, in my case.....


Oooooh, I just noticed your example produced: SRC="/h/lanhws/plano/text/www/test//l2h.png"

Is that, by any chance, /h/... as in H:\... as in (you know what OS)?
If so, it may well be that the pathname arithmetic is falling on its
face.... I was concerned about that when writing it: I didn't want to
introduce any new dependences on some of the (supposedly portable)
File modules (that occasionally don't work right anyway)... and I'm
vaguely recalling there was some operation I needed that wasn't quite
in the L2hos stuff....and having no way to test it.....
That may be where the problem is.


OBTW: I just noticed I was subscribed by an obsolete form of my email address; I think I've got it sorted now ... Sorry you've got to approve me, Ross!! :> Bruce
